Saint John Ogilvie High School is a Roman Catholic secondary state school located in the Burnbank area of Hamilton, South Lanarkshire, Scotland.
On 4 June 2004, more than 200 students and about 10 staff from John Ogilvie High School and Coltness High School were travelling to Lightwater Valley theme park when they were involved in an accident at East Layton.
[1] South Lanarkshire council announced on 22 August 2005 that it had gained planning permission to rebuild John Ogilvie, as well as several other high schools in the area, as part of a multi-million pound deal to modernise local schools.
[3] The school was involved in March 2007 in a row over the standard of teaching given to some students.
In March 2015, to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the martyrdom of Saint John Ogilvie, the school under the leadership of head teacher Edward Morrison officially changed its name from "John Ogilvie High School" to "Saint John Ogilve High School."
